32 Billion images a month.

In November plentyoffish got nearly 6 billion pageviews and served out nearly 32 billion images in addition to that our IM servers handle about 30 billion pageviews a month. All of this traffic is handled by our 11 webservers of which we could probably get rid of 5 and everything would still work fine. All of this may sound like it costs massive amounts of money, but all hosting/cdn costs combined are under $70k/month.

6B pageviews per month come to about 2300 PV/sec. Assuming peak traffic is about quadruple average, that translates into 10k PV/sec at peak. Sounds like a lot for 11 servers with 50% capacity overhead, unless really everything comes from Akamai,. And what the DB?
